You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 253

Even though Clarissa stayed with Catherine the whole night, her mind was somewhere else. She only had a few bites of her food before she got lost in her thoughts once again.

Naturally, her behavior did not go unnoticed by Catherine. But knowing that Clarissa had a lot on her mind, Catherine chose not to say anything.

After dinner, Clarissa accompanied the old folks to the beach for a stroll. To them, it was a lovely time as they laughed and chatted. To Clarissa, however, every second felt like torture.

It was past nine when they finally made it back to the hotel.

Even the short wait for Catherine to shower and get into bed proved to be arduous for Clarissa.

“Why aren’t you sleeping yet, Clare?”

“Oh, I’m not sleepy. Why don’t you go to bed first, Grandma? I’ll be at the balcony.”

As she watched her granddaughter walk away, Catherine sighed, not saying anything else.

Clarissa stood on the balcony, enjoying the view and night breeze. Before long, Matthew had also come out to join her, albeit on his room’s balcony.

Not only had he changed into a more comfortable outfit of T-shirt and pants, but he also seemed to be in visibly better spirits than before.

Clarissa immediately broke into a radiant smile when she saw him.

She realized how goofy she must look with such a big smile plastered on her face, but she didn’t mind it one bit. Seeing Matthew always brought so much joy to her that she couldn’t help but smile.

She wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in her throat. The more she tried to get them out, the more she hesitated.

In the end, she got so upset at herself that she stood rooted to her spot and pouted.

Matthew chuckled and shook his head. “It’s okay. We’ll just look at each other.”

But I want to do more than just look!

Despite craving physical contact with Matthew, she knew she could only contend herself with looking at him.

If the balconies were any closer, she’d have run over to join him without hesitation.

Alas, she didn’t have the superpowers to carry out that feat, so she could only watch him from a distance.

But with every passing second, it got more torturous when all she could do was look and not touch.

All of a sudden, an idea flashed in Clarissa’s mind. She tiptoed back into her room, only to hear a sound asleep Catherine snoring away. She hurriedly snuck out of the room, her heart pounding away.

After closing her room door and making sure there weren’t any movements in it, she ran to the room beside hers.

She had only just reached the room when the door opened, and Matthew pulled her in. The next thing she knew, she was pushed up against the wall while Matthew kissed her hungrily.

Clarissa responded in kind by wrapping her legs around his waist as she kissed him back just as fiercely.

In that moment of passion, it was like nothing in the world existed except for the two of them.

Amidst their heavy breathing and sensual moans, they soon made their way to the bed.

When Matthew tried to pull away, Clarissa clung on tightly and pouted.

He chuckled before kissing her again, though his kisses were softer this time.

Clarissa, however, wasn’t satisfied. She started to grind against him to titillate him further. It didn’t take long for Matthew’s body to react to that, but he continued to keep himself in control.

He merely kept her in a tight embrace as he continued to kiss her tenderly.

“Matthew… “

The sweet, sensual voice of Clarissa almost pushed him over the edge, but Matthew didn’t give in to the temptation.

He held her down and growled softly, “It’s not appropriate, Clare.”

Clarissa pouted as she stared at him. “Grandma’s sound asleep. She’s not going to know. I’ll head back earlier, so she won’t find out.”

Matthew knew she had a point. The way things were going, it wouldn’t be long before he lost self-control and gave in to temptation. So why not go with the flow?

Just as he was about to take it a step further, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Clarissa immediately pushed Matthew away and sprang out of bed in shock.

Seeing how frightened she was, Matthew felt amused.

“It’s okay, Clare. It’s just room service delivering my dinner.”
